Norwich GL111 Term Project Introductions

As part of our Introduction to Oceanography class this Spring 2011 semester at Norwich University, our group will be researching and presenting on plants and animals that live in an ecosystem called a 'Salt Marsh'.

We have four group members:
Brett Sewing, Phillip Turner, Brandon Stubbs, and Tom Stanley

Each member of our group will be reporting on a different marine organism that lives in the rocky shore ecosystem. One will be a zooplankton, one a phytoplankton, one a marine invertebrate, and one a marine vertebrate.

As part of an integrated approach, we will be researching how our organisms interact with the other aspects of the ocean system (geological, physical, and chemical).
